On Saturday I bought a new ceiling light fitting - it has 5 x 40watt
G9 (Halopin) Bulbs in slender cylindrical glass shades. The frosted
shades are moulded (cast) onto a threaded metal ring.

Since Saturday it has spent most of its time dimmed to 25%.

Today I found that 3 of the shades have significant cracks in them.

We spent ages choosing the fitting and we like it.

Do you think I may have a bad batch and should accept a replacements
with a contingency of spares - or return it to the shop for my money
back and start searching over again?


Did the bulbs come with it - or did you buy them separately?

If the latter, I presume that they don't exceed the max permitted wattage
for the shades?
